Hi, I'm a 40 something misplaced Texan living in the panhandle of Florida. Weight problems have plagued me since I was very young but I thought I had them licked for about 15 years. Then a doctor discovered a lump in my throat. Tests confirmed it wasn't' Cancer and I went my merry way, for a while. Weight started creeping on, and I was tired all the time. It took trying three doctors before one would give me a thyroid test. One doctor even told me there wasn't anything wrong with me but I was "fat and lazy". Lady you didn't see what I was doing to myself trying to lose weight. Finally the third doctor diagnosed Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and here I am. It's been over ten years and still I'm trying to deal with the results.

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I was only able to get outside on my lunch breaks this week. It wasn't nearly enough! Today when I got home from work I was so beat from being sick and the 6 day work week, that I napped til the sun went down. I am hoping to get outside tomorrow to try and enjoy some sun.
